This is staight forward I believe:

I have a table with 30,000 rows. When I SELECT DISTINCT 'location' FROM myTable it returns 21,000 rows, about what I’d expect, but it only returns that one column.

What I want is to move those to a new table, but the whole row for each match.

My best guess is something like SELECT * from (SELECT DISTINCT 'location' FROM myTable) or something like that, but it says I have a vague syntax error.

Is there a good way to grab the rest of each DISTINCT row and move it to a new table all in one go?

    SELECT * FROM myTable GROUP BY `location`

    or if you want to move to another table

    CREATE TABLE foo AS SELECT * FROM myTable GROUP BY `location`
